1 Introduction Over the past 20 years the economic and industrial growth in the State of Kuwait has risen

significantly where over 1105 various industrial facilities have been established throughout

the country (Source: Industrial Guide 2013, Public Authority for Industry).

Unregulated/illegal discharge of industrial effluents to the sewerage system have

repeatedly caused severe damage to the operation of municipal wastewater treatment

plants which operate on the principle of aerobic biological digestion using activated

sludge.

The new Environmental Protection Law (No: 42/2014) states clearly that "It is prohibited to

connect clinical and industrial liquid wastes to the public storm water and sewerage

networks. The concerned organizations are committed to establish special treatment

stations for these areas within a maximum period of seven years from the date of issuing

this Law".

Kuwait has 21 registered industrial zones (areas) without sustainable wastewater

treatment (Source: Environmental Monitoring Information System of

Kuwait/Environment Public Authority). Wastewater treatment in industrial zones in Kuwait

has often suffered from poor governance, poor management and under-investment. To

approach this challenge, a new project is proposed for the development of integrated

wastewater management concept of industrial wastewater in Sabhan Industrial Zone (SIZ)

which will serve as a model for the future establishment of integrated wastewater

treatment systems for all industrial zones in the State of Kuwait.

Figure 1: Map of Kuwait

2 Goals of the project and Methodology The main objective of the proposed project is to develop an integrated wastewater man-

agement concept of industrial wastewater in Sabhan Industrial Zone which will serve as a

model for the future establishment of integrated wastewater treatment systems for all in-

dustrial zones in the State of Kuwait. The main tasks of the project are:

Identification and quantification of the various types of wastewater sources and

discharge points in Sabhan Industrial Zone.

Specification / characterisation of similar and different kinds of industrial

wastewater with regard to the different kinds of pre-treatment, final treatment and

disposals

Development of a wastewater collection system including the suitable pre-

treatment for each industrial facility in Sabhan Industrial Zone

Suggestion of the location and the technologies of a centralized wastewater treat-

ment plant including a control and monitoring system

Suggestion of measures for the reuse of treated wastewater, valuables materials

and energy from wastewater

Investigation of the possible alternatives for the disposal/utilization of produced

sludge

Development of financial model/incentives/tariffs, which indicates the required in-

vestments and budgets for operations

Development of the technical specifications and the Request for Proposal (RFP)

for the construction and operation of the „Integrated Wastewater Management

System of Industrial Wastewater in Sabhan Industrial Zone“

The concept shall cover all relevant functions for the sustainable operation of the

wastewater infrastructure within Sabhan Industrial Zone, taking into consideration the

local conditions. It will develop a comprehensive control system, taking into consideration

reliable quality control of the day-to-day operation, and creating the basis for cost calcula-

tion and re-financing of all facilities and organisations within the industrial zone.

3 Identification of wastewater sources and discharge points, including a sampling survey (Status quo)

3.1 Procedure The first phase of the program involved a survey of the present situation with regard to the

disposal of industrial waste water in the Sabhan Industrial Zone. The following activities

were carried out:

1. A visit of the Sabhan Industrial Zone including a plant tour of selected companies

INFA-employees visited individual enterprises during a 3 day visit in March 2017 and

collected data on the basic problems. The visit served to determine the further

procedures.

2. Establishment of a list of enterprises in the Sabhan Industrial Zone

A list of local enterprises in the Sabhan Industrial Zone was necessary for the project

work. KIU-employees established such a list and handed it over to INFA. This list

formed the basis for further considerations.

3. A written survey was conducted to record the volumes and the qualities of the

industrial wastewater of the enterprises

To record the necessary data a questionnaire was developed. The enterprises had

online access to this questionnaire. Within the framework of a plant inspection

additional data were recorded in wastewater relevant enterprises

4. Inspection of wastewater relevant operations including sampling

A total of 21 operations has been inspected in Sabhan Industrial Zone. The

operations were selected on the basis of the wastewater quantity. Samples were

taken from wastewater that is presently disposed of with tank vehicles

Page 10: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

Figure 2: Inspection of water-relevant operations

5. Execution of analytical programs

Temperature and pH-value were analysed during sampling already. Thereafter,

parameters like conductance, emulsions or greases, COD and phosphor were

analysed in the laboratory. The samples taken from the metal processing and textile

industry have additionally been tested for heavy metals.

6. Evaluation of Data

After reception of all relevant data these were evaluated and presented in graphic and

tabular form.

3.2 Results

3.2.1 Number of Companies and Kind of Operations A total of 196 companies is located in Sabhan Industrial Zone. The information provided in

the questionnaire response show that these companies employ 15,600 staff members. Of

the 196 companies 62 state indicate that industrial wastewater is produced in their

premises. Tank vehicles are used to discharge the industrial wastewater. Some of the

companies need 10 or more tours per day to dispose of the industrial waste water.

Of these 62 wastewater-relevant operations, 45 carry out a preliminary cleaning of the

industrial wastewater. The industrial wastewater of 8 of these operations is already being

treated biologically. 11 companies stated that there is no pre-treatment of the industrial

wastewater is done presently and 6 companies did not give any information concerning

the wastewater treatment. It can therefore be assumed that the wastewater in these

factories is also not treated.

Table 1: Overview of the Operations in Sabhan Industrial Zone

The illustration below shows the Sabhan Industrial Zone. All data have been collected in

the area marked in blue or green. The grey areas are mostly public buildings, where the

data needed is not yet available.

Figure 3: Sabhan Industrial Zone

25 of the 62 wastewater-relevant factories are operating in the field of Food and

Beverage. 11 factories produce chemical products, 8 are part of the Paper and Print

industry, 5 work in the metal sector and 2 factories produce carpets. 11 Factories cover

sectors that could not be classified under one of the aforementioned categories.

3.2.2 Water- and Wastewater Quantities According to data flow meter No. 332 the total water consumption of the Sabhan Industrial

Zone was at about 5.000.000 m³ in 2016. The wastewater-related factories revealed in the

survey a water consumption of about 3.500.000 m³ in total. This is a difference of about

1.5 million m³ and may have the following reasons:

Non-wastewater relevant factories have a high water consumption for sanitary and

cleaning activities.

A high water consumption of the 10 public buildings not yet covered by the survey

Leaks within the water supply network

The indicated value for the water consumption given in the survey is to low

In the course of the project the water consumption will be considered once again.

The factories stated that a minimum of 900,000 m³ are added to the relevant product.

Going from a wastewater volume of about 1.6 million m³ this means a difference of about

1 million m³ remains with regard to the wastewater volume. This may be caused by one of

the following reasons:

The water quantity added to the product is higher than 900.000 m³.

The value for the water consumption indicated by the factories is to low

Within the framework of the project the wastewater quantities will also be analysed again.

The water consumption and the wastewater volume were subsequently evaluated by

sectors. 94 % of the water consumption is used by factories of the “food and beverage”

sector. The same is true for the wastewater volume disposed. 91 % are accounted for by

the food and beverage sector.

Figure 7: Wastewater disposal of factories in Sabhan industrial Zone

The illustration below shows a further segmentation of the wastewater volume from the

“food and beverage” sector. It becomes clear that about 66 % of the wastewater is

produced by dairies and milk processing businesses. 19 % originates from the production

of soft drinks and fruit juice. The remaining 15 % originates from the production of meat,

potato chips, bakery, cakes and pasties.

13

The table below shows the wastewater volume of the 13 factories whose wastewater

quantity is not less than 1 % of the total industrial wastewater quantity of the Sabhan

Industrial Zone.

Table 3: Most important factories in Wastewater disposal

The industrial wastewater of the Sabhan Industrial Zone is mainly produced by factories of

the food sector. It is therefore to be expected that the industrial wastewater of the Sabhan

Industrial Zone can be considered as unproblematic with regard to a further treatment.

3.2.3 Waste Water Composition As already mentioned, samples were taken from each wastewater relevant factory in the

Sabhan Industrial Zone. Sampling was performed from wastewater disposed of by tank

vehicles. For factories with a pre-treatment facility, the sampling was thus performed after

the pre-treatment.

The samples were analysed subsequently later in the laboratory (Annex 3).

The following table provides the results of the analytical tests of 21 wastewater samples

from 21 factories. A minimum and a maximum value each are indicated.

Page 19: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

14

Furthermore, you will find an average value weighted with regard to the wastewater

volume of each factory.

Table 4: Waste Water Composition

Generally, the pollutant loads of the examined wastewater samples are within the typical

range. The results reveal that at least for some factories the pH-value was below 6.5. As a

general rule this requires a neutralization of the wastewater. Considering the concen-

tration of total suspended solids (TSS), they are very high (max. value about 31 g/l) for

some factories. These factories should care for an improved retention of the solids

concentration. Same applies for emulsions and greases. With about 65 mg/l, these are

partly at a higher level, too. Adequately dimensioned separators should be installed.

In spite of a maximum of approx. 4.600 mg/l, the COD-value may be considered as

unproblematic, as a high biodegradability can be assumed.

A determination of the heavy metal concentrations was performed in 4 wastewater

relevant factories outside the food and beverage sector. Please find the results in the

table below.

Page 20: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

15

Table 5: Concentration of heavy metals in waste water

The heavy metal concentrations are generally in a lower range. Nevertheless, the

factories should provide for the necessary measures to retain heavy metals. Since there

are only a few factories producing wastewater polluted with heavy metals, pre-treatment

plants at the factories should reduce the heavy metal concentration in the wastewater

stream.

3.2.4 Sludge disposal Forty five Companies in Sabhan industrial Zone have a preliminary cleaning of the

industrial wastewater. By this processes about 6,840 m³ of liquid sludge and about 6,250

Tons of dewatered sludge are produced. The liquid sludge is transportes by tanktrucks to

WAFRA and the dewatered sludge is collected in containers or bags and disposed by

trucks to a dump.

3.3 Summary and Conclusion of Status Quo A written survey and additional visits to selected factories formed the basis to collect

relevant data regarding quantities and qualities of the industrial wastewater in the Sabhan

Industrial Zone. In addition, samples were taken and analysed at wastewater-relevant

factories.

It can be noted that a total of 196 factories are located in the Sabhan Industrial Zone. 62

of these factories produce approx. 1.6 million m³ industrial wastewater. According to their

statements the other factories do not produce any industrial wastewater. The wastewater

volume indicated by the factories is far less than the actual metered consumption of

freshwater provided by the Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW, 2016/2017). One

cause for this phenomenon is the fact that during the production part of the fresh water is

added to the relevant product. The questionnaire did not collect information about

freshwater consumption or wastewater generation of public buildings in Sabhan, which

could be another reason for this huge difference. Fresh water and wastewater volume

shall be under review again at a later stage of the project.

To dispose of the industrial wastewater, the factories presently use tank vehicles to

transport the wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant in the south of Kuwait. 45

Factories pre-treat the wastewater in company-owned pre-treatment plants

More than 90 % of this wastewater originates form factories of the food and beverage

sector. Thus, the organic contaminants contained in the wastewater are very well

biodegradable. On the basis on the measured COD-concentration there is an annual

COD-freight of approx. 1.5 million kg per year. A total of 13 factories produce over 90 % of

the wastewater.

The wastewater analysis showed that the pollutant load is in a typical range. For some

factories low pH-values were measured so that in these factories a neutralisation of the

wastewater should take place prior to a further treatment. Occasionally, high

concentrations of solids as well as high COD values were measured. As already

described, it can be assumed the contaminants are well biodegradable so that a high

COD value is unproblematic with regard to a further wastewater treatment.

Only very low levels of heavy metal concentration were measured in wastewater relevant

factories of the textile and metal sector. It is very difficult and needs great effort to

separate these in a central biological treatment plant. Nevertheless, in future, these heavy

metals should be reduced in appropriate treatment stages directly within the factory

premises.

17

Based on current knowledge, it may be assumed that there is a wastewater volume of 1.6

million m³ annually that has an average COD-value of 950 g/m³. These data form the

basis for the further development of a wastewater disposal concept for the Sabhan

Industrial Zone. The final dimensioning, especially the wastewater volume should again

be checked and completed by further data (e. g. public buildings).

4 New concept of Wastewater disposal

4.1 Wastewater Quantity and Wastewater Load The concept development for the wastewater quantities and wastewater loads as

visualized in Annex 4 is based on the data collection carried out. In an analysis of the

status quo (see Report Status Quo), the wastewater quantities and the COD-loads have

been collected. The wastewater quantities and -loads, respectively, described as “after

Pretreatment” include the wastewater which the companies pre-treat decentrally and

which is discharged and should be treated subsequently.

There are data available for industrial companies derived from the documentation of the

status quo, the wastewater quantities of public buildings, however, as well as the sanitary

wastewater have been estimated on the basis of experience.

4.2 Wastewater-Collection-System

4.2.1 Excisting Sewer System The Sabhan Industrial Zone has a sewer system to discharge the sanitary wastewater via

gravity sewers. The diameters of the sewer are between 200 and 700 mm. A sewer with a

diameter of 700 mm and a gradient of 2,5 ‰ has a capacity of 459 l/s to 598 l/s,

depending on the roughness of the sewer. This means, the existing sewersystem is

designed for 1.652 m³ per hour to 2.153 m³ per hour.

The whole sewer system is converged at a central point (Annex 6: Plan of sewer system)

from where the sanitary wastewater is onward transported for further treatment.

Position, diameter and gradient of the existing sewage system have been taken from the

layout plans of the “Ministry of Public Work” (Scale 1:1.000)

Currently, the industrial wastewater is not conveyed to a sanitary wastewater system, but

is disposed of with tank lorries.

4.2.2 Future Discharge of Industrial Waste Water The objective of a future sewage water system is to discharge the industrial wastewater

like the sanitary wastewater through piping system, so that complex and cost-intensive

transport in tank lorries will no longer be necessary in future.

The dimensioning of the existing sewer system was examined and it was found that the

hydraulic load of this system is extremely low. On the basis of the present data it can be

assumed that both, the industrial and the sanitary wastewater, can be discharged together

over the existing gravity system.

The attached plan (Annex 6) shows the position of the discharge points for the 6

companies with the highest industrial wastewater quantities. This factories would be

connected to sewers with diameter between 250 and 600 mm.

Due to the small volume, all industrial companies can discharge their industrial

wastewater into the common connecting pipes of the sewer system together with the

sanitary wastewater.

Depending of the future location of the wastewater treatment plant still to be constructed,

the wastewater consisting of sanitary and industrial wastewater will have to be transported

from the present collecting shaft to the wastewater treatment plant by gravity or via a

pressure pipeline.

Option Gravity Pipes:

The existing collector pipe has a diameter of 700 mm. It can be assumed that the

transport of the wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant can be executed with a 700

mm diameter pipeline. As soon as the location of the wastewater treatment plant is

known, a final dimensioning can take place.

Option Penstock

In case the geodetic conditions do not allow for a discharge by gravity, the wastewater will

have to be pumped to the wastewater treatment plant. For this purpose, a pumping station

Page 25: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

20

with 2 redundant wastewater pumps will be constructed. The pumps will be dry installed

and controlled by level control sensors.

The inside diameter of the penstock should be about 300 mm; the exact dimensions of the

penstock, however, can only be determined if the pipeline length is known. The lower limit

of the flow velocity should be at 1.0 m/s. A low flow velocity will lead to sediments and

reduce the cross section and thus increases the risk of clogging.

4.3 Industrial Pre-Treatment + Control

4.3.1 Industrial Pre-Treatment The duty of all industries is to pre-treat their wastewater according to the DWA Guidelines

in Annex 5.

All Parameters given in the DWA Guideline can be characterized specific for each

company.

The control of parameters might vary from industry to industry due to the feasibility, that

the certain parameter is affected by the production processes. Fat, for example, is a

relevant parameter for milk processing but not for the production of juices.

All industries are charged for the transportation and treatment of wastewater in the central

treatment plant:

Q [m³/h] and COD [mg/L] influence the costs of transportation and treatment

pH and Temperature are influenced in nearly all industries.

In the following table treatment for the certain industries are characterized as:

X: Obligatory for this type of industry 0: On Demand

As all industries have to screen their wastewater and as all of them have to measure and

record the flow [m³/h], COD [mg/L] and pH minimum (see Monitoring).

It is highly recommended to lift the wastewater overground for the pre-

treatment/monitoring before discharging into the sewer.

A simple screening, monitoring and neutralization could work like sketched below. It can

be realized for low costs.

The only “product” of this pre-treatment to be disposed is the screenings which normally

can be disposed with normal carbage.

The additional “products” of this pre-treatment are organics, often fat, that must be dis-

posed, burned or preferably used to produce biogas in a centralized- or decentralized bio-

gas plant.

It might be necessary to add some units for separation of settleable solids or for precipita-

tion of heavy metals – but most cases of pre-treatment are shown in the above given fig-

ures.

The costly and space intensive biological treatment – which is necessary to finalize the

wastewater treatment before reuse or discharge – is done in the central wastewater

treatment plant.

4.3.2 Industrial Control The monitoring of the single industries is suggested to have 4 main pillars:

1. Equipment: A suitable pre-treatment equipment is installed and working. The op-

erator of the central treatment plant must check that the pre-treatment plant in-

stalled in the single industries can achieve the requested restrictions and that it

can do it safe.

2. Documentation of waste disposal: The operator of the central treatment plant can

supervise the proper operation of the decentralized pre-treatment by checking the

waste disposal documentation.

3. Sampling: A qualified sampling and analysis of all relevant parameters must be

possible any time. This sampling shows the function or malfunction of the pre-

treatment and the accuracy of the electronic controlled and monitored values.

4. Electronic Control: To control the load to the central treatment plant (m³/day and

kg(COD)/day) as well as pH in the effluents we recommend an electronic data

measurement and transfer for the parameters COD, Q and pH.

By this and by using an evaluation program the fees for use of the central treat-

ment plant can be determinate and accidents and malfunctions can be detected to

protect the central treatment plant and ensure the final effluent quality.

4.4 Central Treatment Concept

4.4.1 Basics for the Plant concept The plant is to be designed for the treatment of industrial wastewater additional some mu-

nicipal wastewater.

The industrial wastewater will reach the plant pre-treated according to the given regula-

tions of the industrial zone of Sabhan.

The municipal wastewater is not treated when reaching the plant.

Sand, Grids and also fat can be contained by municipal discharge and/or in case of mal-

function of the single industries pre-treatment plants.

The feed to the plant is collected in pump station of sufficient capacity. This allows the

load by gravity lines (sewer), smaller pump stations (penstock) and (for interim or repair

cases) by tanker.

The plant shall be based on a modular system, which requires all vital functions to be re-

dundant and an easily extendable concept.

It comprises of pre-treatment units, biological units with biomass retention and sludge de-

watering units.

Optionally a disinfection unit is required, depending on the use or discharge of treated

water

Optionally a biogas-plant can be taken into consideration as a centralized system to take

all the primary sludge from industries of industrial zone of Sabhan

The processes involved are described in general in this document.

4.4.2 Process scheme The below scheme shows the principles underlying the wastewater treatment processes.

The scheme is not necessarily complete and some details might deviate depending on the

concept of the contractor.

The descriptions of individual treatment stages provided below are of a general nature.

Details on equipment are provided in the tender documents.

The footprint of the taste water treatment plant depends on the offered technical concept.

The footprint of the described process will be about 5.000 m².

4.4.3 Process description

4.4.3.1 Inlet pump station Wastewater usually falls freely or otherwise via a pressurized pipeline into a pump sump.

In case of repair or maintenance or as an interim solution the feed by Tankers should be

possible.

The raw wastewater pump system usually has a redundant design in order to rule out

back pressure to the greatest possible extent (refer to the performance specifications).

The pumps are controlled via the filling level in the pump sump.

4.4.3.2 Pre-Treatment Screen unit

Coarse substances washed into the wastewater inlet are intercepted by a screen unit.

This avoids depositions and, in particular, system and pump blockages, thus raising the

operational reliability of downstream cleaning stages and lowering the rate of wear of

downstream pumps. The screen’s mesh size is always adapted to the composition of the

wastewater needing treatment.

Sand trap

Sand and other heavy substances lead to unwanted depositions in subsequent treatment

stages and increase pump wear. To avoid this, these substances are separated by an

automatic sand trap preceding the treatment stages.

Fat separation

Free floating fats, oils and other light substances can cause blockages and sticking in

subsequent treatment stages. Fats can also cause notable damage to biological treatment

stages. To minimize the overall system's maintenance and repair costs and promote func-

tional stability, fats are therefore retained automatically.

Page 34: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

4.4.3.3 Mixing and balancing A wastewater treatment system's mixing and compensation reactor performs essential

biological functions which are often underestimated.

It balances wastewater flow, ensuring regular input quantities to and constant

dwell times in the biological treatment phase. This improves and stabilizes the

functionality of the biological and subsequent treatment phases.

It balances the load distribution, ensuring operation of a constant intensity in the

biological phase. Biological processes, in particular, are much better and effective

at a static rate free of large fluctuations.

Ventilation and mixing equipment in the biological phase are also subjected to a

more even load, thus reducing their rate of wear.

The reactor pre-decomposes the organic load by means of separate, fine-bubble

ventilation. By contributing actively to the cleaning process, the reactor thus re-

lieves the biological stage.

It dilutes toxic substances (oils, bactericides) and neutralizes short-term acid and

alkali surges.

The reactor performs an important protective function. In the manual or semi-

automatic mode, the reactor can even provide the biological stage with "intelligent"

protection by insulating the stage from toxic water.

4.4.3.4 Biological treatment The biological reactor cleans dissolved organic impurities (measured as CSB or BSB5) in

an activated-sludge process. Intensive ventilation takes place here. Supplied with oxygen,

microorganisms (= activated sludge) use their metabolism to respire the carbon com-

pounds dissolved in the effluent. Due to high Energy Efficiency the oxygen necessary for

this is supplied to the water by fine air bubbles.

For the biological degradation several processes are common and state of the art: acti-

vated sludge processes and fixed bed processes and moving or fluidized bed processes,

height sludge age to prevent stench and for stabilization.

29

Page 35: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

4.4.3.5 Secondary clarification The biological reactor's outflow still contains activated sludge, i.e. bacteria. To return it to

the biological phase, this activated sludge is separated from the water in a secondary clar-

ification phase. This is done either by sedimentation, flotation or membrane filtration – or a

combination of these processes jut targeting to get the best results.

The necessary sludge return ensures a constant availability of sufficient biomass for de-

composing dissolved carbon compounds in the biological treatment phase.

4.4.3.6 Sludge treatment By Reproduction of microorganisms and bacteria caused by the degradation of substrate,

in every wastewater treatment plant occur the excess of biomass, so called excess-

sludge.

A lot of water is transported if this sludge is disposed as wet sludge (dry weight up to 2%).

By using a sludge dewatering system, this sludge can be disposed with a higher dry

weight, so that at the same amount of biomass the absolute amount of disposals is up to

90% lower.

Different techniques are used for dewatering of sludge, but in some way they are all

based on the same functional principle. By mixing the excess-sludge with coagulants, the

partition of solids and water is improved precisely. Afterwards, the conglomerate of water

and sludge is pressed against a screen or filter surface. The water (filtrate) passes this

screen or filter and gets back to the inflow of the wastewater treatment plant. The sludge

remains on the screen/filter area and is disposed in agriculture or on other ways.

4.4.3.7 Options

4.4.3.7.1 Option 1: Disinfection In case of reuse and especially in case the reuse involves possible contact by human a

disinfection of the effluent is necessary: Chlorination and UV Disinfection are most com-

mon techniques.

4.4.3.7.2 Option 2: Biogas Plant Simple disposal of primary sludge is not state of environmental behaviour. It contains or-

ganic matter, can cause stench.

Incineration in incinerators or in the ovens of cement industries are better alternatives,

especially if the energy can be used instead of wasted.

30

Page 36: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

The installation of a biogas plant in combination with a power station could supply at least

electric energy for the wastewater treatment (blowers).

In all situations it might be considered, that same of the connected industries in Sabhan

also need a solution for disposal of their primary sludge from pre-treatment. An installation

nearby the central wastewater treatment plant could bear synergistic effects to all sides

benefit.

4.5 Disposal of the produced sludge Both, the decentralized pre-treatment in the companies and the central wastewater

treatment in a treatment plant produce sludge of different quality.

As already explained, the high odour load and the partly increased pollutant content do

not allow for the use of the primary sludge from the pre-treatment as a fertilizer for

example. This sludge can, however, feed a biogas plant. In the biogas plant the organic

substances - especially greases - are transformed into biogas. This biogas can

subsequently be used to produce electric and thermal energy in a CHP. Alternatively, the

primary sludge can be thermally recycled.

The biological sludge resulting from the central wastewater treatment (Secondary sludge)

still contains a relevant quantity of nitrogen and phosphorous. The pollutant content is

normally comparatively low so that this sludge can be used as fertilizer after dewatering.

Alternatively, the secondary sludge can also be conveyed to an incineration plant.

4.6 Reuse of Water Most of the companies in the Sabhan Industrial Zone are companies active in the food

industry. The requirements with regard to the quality of the fresh water used in this kind of

companies is very high. As a consequence, the treated wastewater can only be used after

a complex and comprehensive processing including a disinfection stage. In addition, a

broad range of monitoring systems would have to be installed and operated. A reuse of

the cleaned wastewater within the production process therefore does not seem to be

reasonable. Where appropriate, decentralised solutions can be implemented in individual

companies. 31

Page 37: Integrated Wastewater Management Concept for Sabhan …uat.kfas.org/media/2d72597a-1da8-495f-b7fc-dd1138e3765b... · 2019. 4. 24. · DWA-Guidelines for indirect discharger .....

The wastewater cleaned in the central wastewater treatment plant described many,

however, be used for irrigation purposes.

4.7 Monitoring Concept (Guidelines for Monitoring) The duty of all Industries is to pre-treat their wastewater according to the DWA Guidelines

in Annex 5. All Parameters given in the DWA Guideline can be characterized specific for

each Company.

The control of parameters might vary from industry to industry due to the feasibility, that

the certain parameter is affected by the production processes. Fat, for example, is a rele-

vant parameter for milk processing but not for the production of juices.

All industries are charged for the transportation and treatment of wastewater in the central

treatment plant:

Q [m³/h] and COD [mg/L] influence the costs of transportation and treatment

PH and Temperature are influenced in nearly all Industries.

C: Controlled by continuous measurement - should be transmitted to a central control

point (EPA) and recorded. A program can evaluate the costs (RED Parameters)

and/or Penalties.

S4: Controlled by qualified sampling and analysis 4 times a year. 4 samples should be

taken randomly over the year. The control / monitoring can be triggered and even

stopped, depending on the results.

E: Estimated by experience

RED: Parameter to calculate the cost for transport and treatment

4.8 Financial Evaluation To clean polluted water up to a quality allowing a discharge into nature or even use or

reuse causes costs that must be shared fair between the different users and polluters.

For the “Users” in Sabhan Area a pre-treatment is obligatory and the parameters for cer-

tain substances or ingredients are limited before discharging the water into the common

responsibility.

The common responsibility covers transportation and cleaning of the water and the there-

fore necessary costs.

It depends on the “community” how to share the costs between the single users.

Principally CAPEX – capital expenditures – and OPEX – operation expenditures can be

distinguished:

CAPEX can be apportioned at the beginning between the participants or, according to

different recovery periods, charged per unit (m³, kg, number etc.)

OPEX should principally be portioned per unit.

The capital necessary to finance can be sectioned into expanses for:

Sewer and Pump lines for transportation

Property

Civil works for WWTP

Mechanical & electric works, engineering for the WWTP

The influencing parameters for the operation of a wastewater transportation system and

a wastewater treatment plant are:

Energy

Personnel

Analysis

Disposal

Chemicals

Maintenance and repair

Administration

A mostly fair portioning of these costs top the single users is suggested. It must be high-

lighted that INFA cannot take any responsibility for the economical accuracy.

The suggested calculation can be based on the following data*:

estim. Qd 1.752.000 m³/year

estim. Fright 2.190.000 kg/year

Energy 0,004 KD/kWh

Polymer 1,100 KD/kg

ES Disposal 5,000 KD/m³

PS Disposal 5,000 KD/m³

Operat&Lab 45.000 KD/year

Dom.WW** 35.040 m³(dom.)/year

The basis for costs has been taken as follows:

Transportation/Sewer 500.000 KD

Property 100.000 KD

Civil Works WWTP 800.000 KD Pre-Treatment incl.

Pumps 150.000 KD

M1: In case the initial financing will be done separately according to the yearly ca-pacity in m³/year and kg(COD)/year, the costs for operation would additionally be charged per unit:

Individual investment = ……. m³/year x 0,834 KD + …… kg(COD) per year x 0,479 KD Costs per m³ = 0,060 KD/m³ + 0,050 KD/kg x …….kg(CSB)/m³

Example: Industrial Partner, 200.000m³/a, CODav=1800 mg/L 360.000 kg/a Investment participation: 200.000 x 0,834KD + 360.000 x 0,479KD =

166.800KD + 172.440KD = 339.240 KD

Costs per m³: 0,060KD/m³ + 0,050KD/kg x 1,8kg/m³ =

0,060KD/m³ + 0,090KD/m³

=0,150 KD/m³ (i.e. 30.000KD/a)

M2: In case the initial finance is also portioned to the units (m³, kg(COD)) according to different recovery periods, costs could be estimated to be as follows:

Costs per m³ = 0,127 KD + 0,094 KD x …….kg(CSB)/m³

Example: Industrial Partner, 200.000m³/a, CODav=1800 mg/L 360.000 kg/a Investment participation: = 0 KD Costs per m³: 0,127 KD/m³ + 0,094KD/kg x 1,8kg/m³ =

0,127KD/m³ + 0,169KD/m³

=0,296 KD/m³ (i.e. 59.200KD/a)

It must be said, that the given matrix and the assumptions can only be used to get an idea

about possible models. A better fitting one should be generated when the agreements and

decisions about the proceedings are made.

4.9 Scenario for the Extension of the Waste Water Treatment Plant

4.9.1 Scope of the Extension It is expected that further companies will settle in Sabhan Industrial Zone in the years

ahead. This additional production will lead to an increase of the waste water volume and

the polluting load. In response to this future development we drafted the following

scenario for the extension of the waste water treatment plant. Thereby it is generally

assumed that the presently estimated hydraulic as well as the COD-load (Annex4) will

increase by 50 %.

The extension of the plant does not affect the plant design as previously outlined, as the

process technology of the enlarged plant corresponds to the technology of the system

already designed.

The footprint of the extended Waste Water Treatment Plant will be about 7.500 m²-

4.9.2 Process description

4.9.2.1 Inlet-Pump-Station The pumping station is constructed such that a further pump identical in construction can

be installed in addition to the pumps already provided. The connections for the additional

pump will be provided for.

4.9.2.2 Pre-Treatment The concept drawn up provides for a two-line execution of the complete pre-treatment

consisting of screen unit, fat separator and sand trap. An additional third line

corresponding to the lines already existing in terms of size and equipment is part of the

extension concept.

4.9.2.3 Mixing and Balancing The concept aims to install a mixing and balancing reactor as a preliminary step upstream

the two-line activation. The extension concept includes a further mixing and balancing

reactor, however, with half the volume of the other reactor.

4.9.2.4 Biological Treatment and Sludge Retention According to the concept, the pre-treatment as the biological stage including the

secondary sedimentation are executed in two lines. That is why the extension concept

provides for an additional third line.

4.9.2.5 Sludge Treatment The concept allows for the possibility to retrofit a further aggregate including the

necessary installations for the sludge dewatering. The planning of the building already

considers the necessary space requirement.

4.9.2.6 Sludge Storage The ongoing operation will show if additional capacities for the sludge storage will be

necessary in the event of an extension of the plant. If necessary, further sludge storage

facilities will have to be retrofitted. The necessary space has to be taken into account

when designing the plant.
